About

Rebels of the Neon God will screen from a 2K digital restoration.

Young idlers cruise on motorbikes through the neon-lit streets of Taipei in auteur Tsai Ming-liang’s dazzlingly atmospheric debut feature. Tsai’s eternal muse Lee Kang-sheng plays Hsiao-kang, a mysterious dropout who begins to follow a pair of teenage rebels after they vandalise his father’s taxi. A film imbued with youthful malaise and discontent, Rebels of the Neon God is a key entry in the Taiwanese cinema canon.
